The goal of this project is to refine and adapt a mindfulness-based intervention, Cultivating Healthy Intentional Mindful Educators (CHIME), for the Early Head Start/Head Start (EHS/HS) workforce and examine the efficacy of the intervention. In CHIME, educators participate in facilitated reflection as well as mindfulness and compassion-based activities over an 8-week period. Through facilitators, materials, and activities, education staff gain knowledge about social-emotional learning (SEL) and acquire strategies for recognizing and responding to emotion in the classroom. Families will also receive information about these mindfulness and compassion-based practices each week. During the first phase of the project, investigators and their EHS/HS partners will refine and adapt the CHIME intervention for the EHS/HS community and conduct a pilot study drawing upon tenets of community-engaged research. Phase two will include a cluster randomized control trial (RCT) of the adapted intervention with 120 education staff and 360 children and their families. In the final phase of the project, investigators will interview 10 directors and assistant directors to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation of the intervention and put in place effective mechanisms to support the sustainability of the intervention beyond the conclusion of the grant.
